Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 CHILDREN - With a few exceptions, involving
small villages in extremely remote areas, nutritional standards were high and
poverty was almost unknown. Between 20 and 30 young female
rape and sexual abuse victims, between 9 and 15 years of age, were housed at
the government‑sponsored Taman Noor Hidayah women's shelter. The penalty for the rape of
a minor is 8 to 30 years' imprisonment and caning with not fewer than 12

statute outlaws sexual exploitation and trafficking of women and girls. In

The strong commitment to family values within society, the high standard of living, and government funding for children's welfare provides most children a healthy and nurturing environment. With a few exceptions involving small villages in extremely remote areas, nutritional standards are high and poverty is almost unknown. Instances of child abuse appear low, and child prostitution seems to be nonexistent. Statement at the UN Special

Brunei. Acknowledging this problem, a warning has been issued to
parents and guardians to avoid exploiting their children for begging or other
illegal activities or face stern punishment. The Protection Project - Brunei Darussalam [DOC] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - Young people from Brunei Darussalam
